| | The Berber populations of [[Morocco]] and northern [[Algeria]] have occasional redheads. Red hair frequency is especially significant among the Riffian Berbers from Morocco and Kabyle people from Algeria. Their pigmentation is characteristically brunette, but definite blonds occur. Black and dark brown hair run to 85 percent of the whole, while red heads number 4 percent. There are, however, a noticeable number of Kabyles with red hair, blue eyes and light skin/fair skin, respectively. The Queen of [[Morocco]], Lalla Salma wife of king Mohammed VI, has red hair. Abd ar-Rahman I also had red hair, his mother being a Christian Berber slave. | | The Berber populations of [[Morocco]] and northern [[Algeria]] have occasional redheads.
